Give Them A Chance.

Give Them A Chance.
That is to say, your lungs. Also ale
your breathing machinery. Very won
derful machinery 1t is. Not only the
larger air-passages, but the thousands
of little tubes and cavities leading from
them.
When these are clogged and choked
with matter which ought not to be
there, your lungs cannot half do their
work. And what they do, they cannot
do we'll.
Call it cold, cough, Group, pneumo-
MIA, catarrh, consumption or any of the
family of throat and nose and head and
lung distractions, all are bad. All
ought to be got rid of. There is just
one sure way to get rid of them. That
is to take Boschee's German Syrup,
which any druggist will sell you at Is
cents a bottle. Even if everything else
has failed you, you may depend upon
his for certain.

A Minneapolis ward politician by the
name of Peter Anderson brought a
charge against Mr.. S. D. Peterson. OF
this city, last week, claiming that Mr..
Peterson had received 500, 900 from the
Columbia Society to corrupt the Legis.
lature and had also been employed by
the Manitoba road to lobby against
certain railroad measures in the late
Legislature. Coming from 50 unreli-
able a source, as this man Anderson is
said to be, it is rather surprising that
the twin city dailies wasted so much
valuable space upon the sensation as
they did. But perhaps the usual stock
of sensational news had run short and
so they utilized this for all it was worth.
It was quite unnecessary for Mr.. Peter
son to go to the trouble of denying the
assertions claimed to have been made
by this man Anderson. No thinking
person could read the charges with
ont being impressed by their absurdity.
Mr.. Peterson states that Anderson is
dead beat, having written him letters
asking him for money, on one occasion
having got lawyer of Minneapolis to
write letter advising Peterson to pay
Anderson money in order to keep his
name from the public. Mr.. Peterson
still has the the letter in his possession,
and promises to make things lively for
several people. This man Anderson
first met Mr., Petersen in Chicago and
afterwards in St. Paul. During the ses-
sion of the legislature Anderson was
working to defeat the high licence bill.
and finding Peterson was in the same
interest tried to borrow $50, which Mr..
P. refused to loan. This was the beginn.
ing of the enmity and led to the threat:
ing letters that Anderson has sent and
caused to be sent. Mr.. Peterson says
he does not know who composed the
Columbia association, and emphatic
ally denies having used money in their
interest. He worked against the high
license bill because the people of this
district were against it. He denies
having worked against the railroad bills
and most emphatically denies having
been employed by J. j. Hill for that
purpose. It looks as though the state
ments against Mr.. Peterson were made
for the purpose of blackmail more than
anything else.

There has been some surprise shown
at the fact that with wheat crop prob
ably 3O,000,000 bushels below that
Of last year and fair export de
mand,; the price of wheat should re-
main so low. It happens sometimes
that when the wheat crop is short one
IN the United States it is unusually
large elsewhere. This is one of the
years in which such a thing has hap
pened. The European wheat crop is
now known to be unusually large. The
statistics of the international corn mar
ket of Vienna, which have gained a
well-deserved reputation for accuracy,
show the crop Of 1887 to be far above
the average. The Austrian yield is
placed at II per cent. above an average
and that of Hungary at 26 per cent.
above. Instead of buying wheat, as is
frequently the case, Austro-Hungary
will have 30,000,000 bushels to export.
The crop in Great Britain and Ireland
is 20 per cent. above an average; in
Servia, 40; Central Russia, 1S; Wal
lachia, 25, and France, 5 The yield in
other European countries is up to OF
above the average, making it certain
that the demand for American and In.
dian wheat will not be so great as in
former years. If this estimate should
be found too high, however, the Ameri-
can surplus for export will be large
enough to meet very heavy demand.
With the surplus carried over from
1886, the available wheat in the United
States will not fall much short of 500,
100000 bushels, an amount that will
meet the most liberal demands for home
consumption and leave a large surplus
to be exported or carried over, as may
be the case. Under the circumstances
wheat is pretty certain to rule low du
ring the coming year. While this vii

THE G. 4. R ENCAMPMENT.
Over Fifty Thousand Members are
Expected to meet at St. Louis.

St. Louis Sep. 25.-The boys in blue
are gathering at the camping grounds,
and the streets of st. Louis are sprinkled
with Grand Army men with breasts
decked with copper and ribbon badges.
The thoroughfares were crowded with
strangers all day, and from the depots
crowds of visitors passed to and fro.
The beat of the drum and whistle of
the fife grows familiar and all pedestri-
ans drop unwillingly into the steady
tramp. Bulletins in the shops and tele-
graphs announced the approach of dele
cations, and the advance guard in
squads and by posts rolled into the city
by every incoming train. The Pacific
slope swooped down upon the town in
thirty.three cars-ffteen hundred strong
from California and a hundred more
from Oregon, Washington Territory and
Alaska. They came with the products
of peace-the fruits, the wines and the
grapes of the golden land-and in the
great hall of the armory are preparing
to exhibit, as the Knight Templars did
last year, some of the blessings of their
fertile country. Within block of the
armory, their camp Of tents shelter 800
men to-night-the first of the boys to
take. to the field. Scarcely had their
tramp died out when Wisconsin, led by
Gov. Rusk and his body guard of seven
teen MANNED soldiers, marched through
the streets escorted by $50 men from
Milwaukee. Their tents were pitched
in Carr place, and after visiting their
quarters, many sought their comrades
from Illinois, who were quartered at
Lyon Park. Three hundred from the
Quincy, Ill. Soldiers Home had arrived,
and as they took possession the one
legged staff of Wisconsin marched
around the ground on an inspection tour.
Ohio's delegation Of 400 from Cleveland
came in late and fastened to st. Louis
Park, where they were joined by squads
from Indiana. Kansas and Massachusetts,
had many men at their tents at Wash
ington Park, though the posts will not
arrive until tomorrow. A martial air
pervades tie city, and several thousand
soldiers perambulate the streets, and
promise many more than were at first
expected. AS California came 1,50C
strong instead Of 800 as was at first
promised, and as each other state now
sends notice of increased attendance
the total number will swell te
more than fifty thousand. As these
men arrive they will be met a

who will send one man with each post
to direct them to their quarters. Tent
and rooms are prepared for all, no mat

away the two shells shot through the lake in
steady motion, despite the quite heavy waves
that were rolling. There was a loud ont
burst of applause from the crowd of specta-
tors as the men swept by the grand stand and
settled down to their work. Hanlan, whose
course lay farthest from shore, sent his stroke
up to thirty eight To the minute and was soon
in the lead of his opponent Gaudaur was
not far behind, however, and held his own in
good shape When the men were half mile
from the starting point Hanlan had drawn
ahead half length and was squirting with a
short stroke, Gaudaur was pulling thirty to
the minute in a steady, easy manner, not ap-
parently worried by the ex-champion's lead
The wind had now freshened considerably,
and driving rain-storm set in, but neither
oarsman seemed to mind the rough weather,
but swept along steadily and gracefully.
Hanlan increased his lead to a length when

point but the storm now closed around the
men and nothing could he seen of them save
two indistinct objects bobblng like corks in

not penetrate the thick curtain of rain which

and the spectators, Hanlan was first to turn

opened SO that be could I've seen it was found
that he still had good lead but WAS splash

a mile from home Gaudaur, who had been
lying back from one to two lengths, suddenly
spurted and slowly but surely closed the gap

struggle to keep the lead, but Gaudaur was
still fresh after his efforts and kept up his fast
stroke, pressing Hanlan harder and harder

sacrifice and devotion, as told by eloquent
lips at the national capital, seems ever fresh.
Bright, balmy weather ushered in the morn
ing and continued throughout the day, much
to the ioy of thousands who every wear visit
the several cemeteries around the city on this
day, and perform a duty of love, streaing
the graves of the soldiers with choicest flow

Monday
In accordance with an order Of the presi.
dent, all the executive departments were
closed to allow the clerks to participate in the
service at the cemeteries. This they very
generally did, and from early morning until
far into the day all the roads leading to the
various "cities of the dead" were crowded
with people.
The principal point of attraction was, OF
course Arlington, the great national GENE
tery living across the Potomac river, just OPP

G. A. X. men marched, accompanied by a
number of the visiting troops, and preceded

New YORK, May 3l.-Everyday toll was
quite generally suspended in the shops and
business houses OF this city Monday, and men,
women and children were in holiday attire
There was clear evidence that the day which
marks the tribute to the dead was not waning
from the public heart as a sacred day. The
central event was the parade of the Grand
Army men, escorted by the militia. The
streets and avenues AL jacent to and along the
line of march were thronged with spectators.
The procession started from Forty second
street and Fifth avenue shortly after 10
O'Clock. The Seventh, Sixty ninth, Eighth,
Ninth, Eleventh, Twelfth, Twenty second
and Seventy first regiments and the First
and Second batteries acted as escort to the
Grand Army of tine Republic Following
came the body of the procession, composed of
sixty Grand Army posts divided into ten di-
visions and numbering 5000 men Then came
a large number of veteran associations, in
which were included the Fire Zouaves and
Hawkins ZouaVes, the veterans of the Tam
many and Mozart regiments, Meagher's Irish
brigade and veterans of the SixtyNinth, One
Hundred and Third and One Hundred and
Tenth regiments, the Gardes Lafayette and
the GrenadieTs Ruchambeau.
The procession closed with two floral divi
sions composed of trucks and wagons draped
with flags and loaded with wealth of flowers
to be laid 10y the several Grand Army posts
on comrades graves.
Carriages containing Governor Hill, Gems.
Sherman and Sheridan, Mayor Hewitt and

About O'Clock Monday morning in company

The president had the poorest luck of any one
in the party, only catching one trout. After
dinner Mr. and Mrs Cleveland, Col and Mrs
Lamont, DR.. and Mrs. Rossman, and Mr.

boards The trout preserve there has been
opened to give Mr. Cleveland good fishing
ground, and shortly before sunset the presi-

beaten the ex-champion by dozen lengths
had he been so disposed, buthe stopped active
work when in front of the grand stand, and
pulled to the finish line in very slow and
easy manner
The contest attracted great crowd of peo-
pile from this city and vicinity, and the town
of Pullman overfiowed with humanity. From
10 O'Clock until stiff breezes blew over the
lake, and the water ran so high that a race
at all Monday seemed impossible. At one
time furious wind storm, accompanied by
rain, passed over the town, driving the spec
tators indoors, and causing a universal feel
ing that the race would have to he postponed,
but as the evening drew near the wind sub
sided the water of Lake Calumet became
calmer, and there was fair prospect of ia
vorable conditions for good contest.

striped shirt, a cap of the same material and
pair of blue knee breeches There was
some preliminary work and then the two
oarsmen came close together and the word
